An ace card may beassigned either a point value of one or eleven.

The object of the blackjack card game is for each player to collect anumber of cards in his or her hand whereby the total point valueassigned to the cards in a player's hand is as close to possible totwenty-one without going over. If the point value in a player's handexceeds twenty-one points, the player “busts” and is eliminated fromfurther play.

Each player should place a wager initially to receive two cards to startthe game. In traditional blackjack, each player is playing against thedealer or “house”. The dealer or house acts as the bank, paying alllosses and collecting all winnings from the other players at the table.In order to win his or her wager, the cards in a player's hand must havea higher total point value than the total point value in the dealer'shand without going over twenty-one points.

During a player's turn, a player may elect to draw additional card whichis called “take a hit”, or play only the cards currently held in his orher hand which is called “stand”. A player may continue to receiveadditional cards in order to try to reach a point total of twenty-onewithout exceeding twenty-one.
